So often in our lives, we put our focus on the things that are in the past or in the future, instead of the things that are in this present moment. We worry about what might happen next or we fret over what happened in the past, neither of which can we do anything about. We lose the fullness of life by setting our sights on the things that did not work out or might not work out.

Imagine that someone is standing right in front of you, but you are simply looking in a mirror that shows you what is behind you. This person is the exact person that you are looking for, but you have refused to sit the mirror down and can't see on the other side of it. They are waving frantically to get your attention, but you just keep adjusting where behind you look and they are never there. That is what is happening to so many people today as they look back at the past, desperately trying to figure out their future, yet never taking their focus off of what was. Until you get rid of the mirror, you will never be able to see what is right in front of you.

The funny, and somewhat sad thing, is that your success is staring you in the face. It is right there in front of you, wiating for you to accept it as your new friend. It wants you to win, but you have to notice it first. When you live your life looking in the right direction, the things that are required for you to win will appear in front of you. When you live your life looking in the wrong direction, you will find only stress or anxiety. Which do you want? Do you want to find success or do you want to find struggle? The choice is in the direction that you focus. Choose wisely!
